  • Conspicuousness, Phylogenetic Structure, and Origins of Müllerian
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Conspicuousness, phylogenetic structure, and origins of Müllerian mimicry in 4000 lycid beetles from all zoogeographic regions Michal Motyka1, Dominik Kusy1, Michal Masek1, Matej Bocek1, Yun Li1, R. Bilkova1, Josef Kapitán2, Takashi Yagi3 & Ladislav Bocak1* Biologists have reported on the chemical defences and the phenetic similarity of net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) and their co-mimics. Nevertheless, our knowledge has remained fragmental, and the evolution of mimetic patterns has not been studied in the phylogenetic context. We illustrate the general appearance of ~ 600 lycid species and ~ 200 co-mimics and their distribution. Further, we assemble the phylogeny using the transcriptomic backbone and ~ 570 species. Using phylogenetic information, we closely scrutinise the relationships among aposematically coloured species, the worldwide diversity, and the distribution of aposematic patterns. The emitted visual signals difer in conspicuousness. The uniform coloured dorsum is ancestral and was followed by the evolution of bicoloured forms. The mottled patterns, i.e. fasciate, striate, punctate, and reticulate, originated later in the course of evolution. The highest number of sympatrically occurring patterns was recovered in New Guinea and the Andean mountain ecosystems (the areas of the highest abundance), and in continental South East Asia (an area of moderate abundance but high in phylogenetic diversity). Consequently, a large number of co-existing aposematic patterns in a single region and/or locality is the rule, in contrast with the theoretical prediction, and predators do not face a simple model-like choice but cope with complex mimetic communities. Lycids display an ancestral aposematic signal even though they sympatrically occur with diferently coloured unproftable relatives.

  • Phylogeny and Classification of the Family Lycidae (Insecta: Coleoptera)

Svobody 26, 771 46 Olomouc, Czech Republic 2Department of Biology, Faculty of Education, Palacky University, Purkrabska 2, 771 40 Olomouc, Czech Republic *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.— Lycidae, net winged beetles, have proved difficult to classify using morphological characters. Here, using a previously published molecular phylogeny, comparing the results with morphological data and re-analyzing previously published morphological data set, we propose a revised classification of Lycidae. All analyses support the monophyly of Lycidae, but phylogeny inferred from molecular data is in conflict with the current classification. The adult larviform females evolved in several lineages and never switched back to a winged form. Therefore, neotenic development of females is not a synapomorphy of Lycidae and the neotenic lineages do not form a basal paraphylum with respect to remaining Lycidae as previously proposed. As a consequence morphological similarities resulting from neoteny are homoplasies and cannot be used for definition of monophyletic lineages. The major result of this study is delineation of five basal clades, which are given subfamily rank: Libnetinae Bocak et Bocakova, 1990, stat. nov., Dictyopterinae Kleine, 1928, stat. nov., Lyropaeinae Bocak et Bocakova, 1989, Ateliinae Kleine, 1928 and Lycinae Laporte, 1836, sensu nov. Dexorinae Bocak et Bocakova, 1989, stat. nov. were not available for molecular analyses and their position is inferred from morphology alone.

E-mail: [email protected] 1Corresponding author. E–mail: [email protected] Abstract The last instar larva of Metapteron xanthomelas (Lucas, 1857) is described. This is the first description of a larva for the genus. Two live larvae collected in the Brazilian Atlantic coast Restinga Forest of Itanhaém, São Paulo, were reared, one to adult and one was fixed in the last instar. This larva differs from the known Calopterini larvae by the absence of urogomphi, the dorsal abdominal segments undivided and strongly alveolate ornamentation on the head. Key words: Elateroidea, Lycid beetle, Calopterini, Larva, Neotropical region Introduction When reviewing the Coleoptera Immatures Collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (CIC– MZUSP) (Barbosa et al. 2013) the authors noticed a small reared larva associated with an adult of an undetermined Lycidae. The authors concluded that the adult specimen belongs to the genus Metapteron Bourgeois, 1905, tribe Calopterini (Ferreira & Costa, 2013).

Samples from all zoogeographical realms were assembled and phylogenetic relationships for ~550 species and 25 tribes were inferred using nuclear rRNA and mtDNA markers. The analyses revealed well-supported clades at the rank of tribes as they have been defined using morphology, but a low support for relationships among them. Most tribes started their diversification in Southeast and East Asia or are endemic to this region. Slipinskiini and Dexorini are Afrotropical endemics and Calopterini, Eurrhacini, Thonalmini, and Leptolycini remained isolated in South America and the Caribbean after their separation from northern continents. Lycini, Calochromini, and Erotini support relationships between the Nearctic and eastern Palearctic faunas; Calochromini colonized the Afrotropical realm from East Asia and Metriorrhynchini Afrotropical and Oriental realms from the drifting Indian subcontinent.

  • Morphology of Lycidae with Some Considerations on Evolution of the Coleoptera
    ELYTRON, 2003. VOL. 17: 00-00 ISSN: 0214-1353 49 MORPHOLOGY OF LYCIDAE WITH SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON EVOLUTION OF THE COLEOPTERA Sergey V. Kazantsev Insect Centre Donetskaya St. 13-326 109651 Moscow, Russia [email protected] ABSTRACT Morphology of Lycidae with some considerations on evolution of the Coleoptera. External and internal morphology of the family Lycidae and allied taxa is studied and analyzed. A cladistic analysis of the group is carried out. An evolution scenario of the lineage is discussed and a phylogenetic tree and a key to subfamilies are proposed. Dexoridae Kleine stat. n. is raised to the family level. Lyropaeinae Bocák & Bocáková stat. n. and Miniduliticolinae Kazantsev stat. n. are raised to the subfamily level within the Lycidae. Thilmanus Baudi is transferred from Drilidae to Thilmaninae subfam. n. within the Lycidae. Platerodrilini tr. n. is described. The Lycidae are hypothesized to consist of seven subfamilies, Lyropaeinae stat. n., Leptolycinae, Ateliinae, Thilmaninae, subfam. n., Miniduliticolinae, stat. n., Lycinae and Calochrominae. Lyponiina Bocák & Bocáková is transferred from Platerodini to Calochrominae incertae sedis. Phylogeny of the Coleoptera is discussed. The Coleoptera is hypothesized to be a polyphyletic taxon, not including the common ancestor of its two major lineages, the Polyphaga and the Archostemata-Adephaga-Myxophaga. Key words: Coleoptera, Lycidae, morphology, phylogeny, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION It would not be exaggeration to say that the Lycidae, as many other Coleopterous insects, are fairly little known in many important aspects, including their morphology. Studies on the family have always been exclusively concentrated on external characters; perhaps, the only papers that contributed to the knowledge of their inner structures were those of Rosenberg (1943) who provided some detail on larval mandibular and trochanteral structures and Bocák & Bocáková (1990) who illustrated the internal female genitalia of several taxa.

This is the only Dexoris with shortened elytra, rudimentary hind wings and large, larviform abdomen. Unlike males of other species in the genus, D. chome sp. nov. has a modified number of palpomeres and remarkably short, robust legs and antennae. Such modifications are similar to those in the neotenic female of Omalisus fontisbellaquei Fourcroy, 1785 (Omalisidae), sug- gesting analogous morphological changes in unrelated lineages supposedly caused by similar modifications of their meta- morphosis. The distribution of all 11 known species of African Dexoris closely overlap with the location of the hypothesized centres for evolution of new species in the Afrotropical region. Key words: Net-winged beetles, neoteny, metamorphosis, Afrotropical region, distribution, new species Introduction Dexoris Waterhouse, 1878 is a peculiar net-winged beetle genus with 10 known species from humid regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (Kleine 1942, Bocak & Bocakova 1988, Kazantsev 2000).

ZooKeys 179: 115–126. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.179.2494 Abstract Eight species of Lycidae are newly recorded from New Brunswick, Canada, bringing the total number of species known from the province to 16. The first documented records from New Brunswick are provided for Greenarius thoracicus (Randall) Erotides scuptilis (Say), and Calopteron terminale (Say) reported by Ma- jka et al. (2011). Eropterus arculus Green, Lopheros crenatus (Germar), and Calochromus perfacetus (Say) are reported for the first time in the Maritime provinces. Collection data, habitat data, and distribution maps are presented for all these species. Keywords Lycidae, new records, Canada, New Brunswick Introduction The Lycidae of North America was reviewed by Green 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954), and all species in the Maritime provinces of Canada can readily be determined using these keys.

  • Interactions in Multi-Pattern Müllerian Communities Support Origins of New
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Interactions in multi‑pattern Müllerian communities support origins of new patterns, false structures, imperfect resemblance and mimetic sexual dimorphism Michal Motyka, Matej Bocek, Dominik Kusy & Ladislav Bocak * Mimicry is a hot spot of evolutionary research, but de novo origins of aposematic patterns, the persistence of multiple patterns in Müllerian communities, and the persistence of imperfect mimics still need to be investigated. Local mimetic assemblages can contain up to a hundred of species, their structure can be a result of multiple dispersal events, and the gradual build‑up of the communities. Here, we investigate the structure of lowland and mountain mimetic communities of net‑winged beetles by sampling the Crocker Range in north‑eastern Borneo and neighbouring regions. The local endemics evolved from the Bornean lowland fauna which is highly endemic at the species level. We inferred that metriorrhynchine net‑winged beetles evolved in high elevations yellow/black and reticulate aposematic high‑contrast signals from a widespread low‑contrast brown/black pattern. As the mountain range is ~ 6 million years old, and these patterns do not occur elsewhere, we assume their in situ origins. We demonstrate that a signal with increased internal contrast can evolve de novo in a mimetic community and can persist despite its low frequency. Additionally, a similar aposematic signal evolves from diferent structures and its similarity is imperfect. The community with multiple patterns sets conditions for the evolution of aposematic sexual dimorphism as demonstrated by the yellow/black male and reticulate female pattern of Micronychus pardus. These insights elucidate the complex character of the evolution of mimetic signalling in the dynamically diversifying biota of high tropical mountains.
